Paladin: Oath of the Chosen
The Oath of the Chosen creates a bond between the paladin and the god Aten, and to Nuria Natal, the land of his chosen people. Other adherents of the faith refer to these paladins as bright blades or shining lords. Members of the order spend their time countering threats to
Nuria Natal and preventing the Mharoti from gaining
a foothold in the east. With that threat currently at low ebb, bright blades now patrol the roads running along the River Nuria as well as the trade routes in the Crescent and Sarklan deserts.
Defend the Land. Scour all threats to Nuria Natal before they corrupt the holy land.
Defend the People. A threat to the people of Nuria Natal is a threat to the land itself. Purge the holy land of all that would defile its people. Defend Your Faith. Aten is the light of the world. Anything that makes a mockery of you or Aten is a threat to both his chosen land and his chosen people.
Be the People’s Beacon. The lands are rife with corrupting influences. Be the torch that guides the chosen people to enlightenment.
Cradle of the Land. When you can see a creature within 60 feet of you that has 0 hit points, you can use your Channel Divinity as a reaction to restore hit points to it. The number of hit points it regains equals 1d8 + any number of hit points that you expend from your Lay on Hands pool.
Star of Sand and Sun. As a bonus action, you can create a magical glass morningstar in your hand that lasts for 1 minute. On a hit, the weapon deals 1d8 piercing damage plus 1d4 radiant damage and 1d4 force damage. On a critical hit with this weapon, you can choose to deal extra damage as normal for a critical hit, or you can choose for the weapon to shatter. Your target and creatures within 20 feet of them that are hostile to you must roll a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, suffering 4d6 radiant damage and 4d6 force damage on a failure or half damage on a success. The extra damage you deal increases to 2d6 radiant damage and 2d6 force damage at 15th level, and the critical damage from shattering the morningstar increases to 6d6 radiant damage and 6d6 force damage. You can dismiss the weapon on your turn as part of any other action. If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, the effect ends.
